THE DAILY EVENING TELEfiKArH miLADELFIHA, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1870. (J GEN. LOUAN'8 MILITARY BILL. To tht Editor of Th Kvxninjj TcUgraph: It was onoe wittily aaid In jest, "Give me the luxuries and I will dispense with the necessaries of life;" but In obor, serious earnest, some mambers of Congress say, "Give ns conclusions and we can dispense with facts" at least they act in conformity with such views. How safe the generality of retrenchment and reform, the halloo of demagognes, that wends In full cry the pack of fools ! The wise are in favor of both; retrenchment some times, reform always seeing that in human concerns there is always need of it. Bat what retrenchment and reform? Ah, there the question narrows amazingly. We look askance, for instance, npon retrenchment and reform which seem to court the light of day, and the foundation of which, nevertheless, con tains misstatement, suppression, and garbling cf the truth. We are not satisfied with con clusions founded upon airy nothing, we be lieve in the utility of the stubbornness of facts; and therefore we cannot mutely rest contented with the hue and cry of retrench ment and reform, when a question so mo mentous as the honor of the nation is at take. The question is not the broad one whether or not retrenchment and reform are neces sary, but whether the retrenchment and re form represented by General Logan's bill are just retrenchment and reform. If not, then if the nation tends to dishonor itself, and heeds no other cry than "let ns look to our purse," we say, look to your honer for the sake of your purse, for they are inseparably connected. If the military and naval service be made to feel that, in time of war, the future offers them labor, wounds, glory, and rank, and, in time of peace, deprivation of that of which they can be shorn, farewell both army and navy ! Who would seek either service ? r if there be some so base, what sort of & ser vice would it then be ? The tenure of re wards and honors in a profession whose mem bers brave death to secure them cannot in the nature of things be less than during life. If we try to make it otherwise, the profession of arms must, an an honorable one, cease to exist, and become the trade of comMticre. Where did General Logan, contrasting the French army with ours, learn that its staff is relatively and absolutely smaller than ours ? He surely did not mean to quibble our staff, no-called, comprising officers of several de partments unknown to the organization of that of the French. He could not have met with the statement in official documents, for it is not to be found there. Then he must have got it by hearsay or by intuition. At any rate, and for the reason that, although the word Btaff does in this country cor respond to the phrase etat-major (staff), in France, the things are different, General Logan's statement is incorrect. Again, Gene ral Logan made the statement that six hun dred and sixty-three staff officers who in 1SU0 were mostly lieutenants and captains are now all majors, lieutenant-colonels, colonels, and brigadier-generals. Here occur two errors of fact. In the first place, the officers referred to are, according to the Army llcgU ter, six hundred and nineteen in number, not ix hundred and sixty-three; and, in the second place, three hundred and thirty-five, or more than a half of them, are, according to the Army Register, below the rank of major. We care comparatively little whether Gene ral Sherman's salary is or is not too high for his position and deserts, but it does nearly concern all the nation that if it be reduced it be not on false pretences. Yet General Logan, speaking in advocacy of its reduction, mentioned that the Chief Justice of the United States receives only $0500 per an num, and failed to remind his hearers that a bill pending before Congress gave the Chief Justice $12,000 per annum, and full pay to the Chief and Associate Justices when ever they retire. In the comparison by General Logan of the military establishment of this country with that of France and of Russia, he failed - to mention that the area of this country is over fourteen times as great as that of France; and that Russia, although she has an area even greater than ours, is not obliged to gar rison petty posts over a vast extent of fron tier. As for France, although possessing two frontiers, she has but one of limited extent to guard, and her stationing of troops is pre scribed purely by convenience of quartering. General Logan did not mention the great difference in the labor involved in supplying an army stationed over a large area, compared with the labor of supplying one stationed over a small area. He did not mention, and, being chairman of the Military Committee of the House, he could hardly have been unaware of the fact, that, so heavy at present are, and for a long time have been, the duties of the Corps of Engineers, it is obliged to employ ninety civil engineers. Muoh more might be said of the spirit with which this important subjeot has been .con sidered and presented to Congress and the people. Mr. Piatt considerately moved to strike out the fourth section of the bill to re dace the wftjor-generals to three, because he did not wish to throw upon the President the disagreeable duty of designating who should be mustered out. Surely, if it is right to reduce the number of major-generals, the dis agreeableness of the President's part in the " duty should not stand in the way of its per formance. Not alone by lavish praise and reward of men who distinguish themselves is the field are high imrale and efficiency in armies maintained. The real soldier, although the emanation of war, is the creation of peace. Better by far let eur war material mst and rot away than tamper with the spirit of our army. "Jl ne faut pat brutuliter In maeliine." To be just, change in the army should be prospective. It should not affect those who have so fairly won their emolu ments and their honors. Let it not be said that what the nation conferred it withdrew. The faith cf a nation is tacitly pledged to its military and naval bffioers, whose very edu cation bus unfitted them for other careers. Nothing but poverty can justify it in dismiss ing them from its service, and nothing under heaven, in degrading them. ICryn ITIalir. CvTrtufHmdtnct of Tht Keening TtlnjrmfK This new town on the Pennsylvania TUil road, north of Whitehall station, is begin ning to show vigorous signs of improvement. That portion of the railroad extending from Athensville to Ilosemont, designed to avoid the sharp curve at Whitehall, has been graded, the bridges completed, and the contractors have commenced laying the track preparatory to the completion of the work in early sum mer. Several fino avenues have boon laid ut and graded in Bryn Mahr, and two elegant double houses are nearly ready for occupanof. During this spring and summer a number of magnifioent residences will be built, and the place otherwise improved, in anticipation of making it one of the most attractive places in the vicinity of Philadelphia. It is suffi cient to say that this is a Pennsylvania lUil road enterprise, and will become deservedly popular, as we understand the company de sign to offer greater facilities to their local travel this summer than during any former period. It is rumored thut trains will run nearly every hour in the day. Should such be the case, this section will become as populous as Germantown in a very f e w years, and far more desirable for residences. OtEer magnificent improvements are going forward in the same neighborhood by Mr. Charles Wheeler, Mr. John M. Kennedy, and Mr. Isaac II. Evans. The twe former are private residences, and the latter a private boarding-house. Mr. Evans has located his house on the Lancaster pike, within three or four minutes walk of the present Whitehall station and about the same distanoe from the contemplated station at Bryn Mahr, so that his guests will have it very convenient going to and from the house to the trains. The new house built by Isaac N. Flounders, of Media, has been named "Summit Grove," from two facts the first that it occupies the highest ground in the neighborhood, and the second that it is located in a beautiful grove. The house is 80 feet front by 40 feet in depth, with a wing 28 by 33 feet. It is three stories high, and presents a commanding aspect, from every point, for miles round. Surrounding "Sum mit Grove" is a piazza 20(5 feet long and 10 feet wide. The first floor is divided into a parlor 40 by W feet; a reception-room and office, each 18 by 20 feet; a dining hall 40 by 27 feet; kitchen, IS by 28 feet, and large laundry and wash-rooms. The main hall is 9 feet wide, and the hall extending from the dining room to the parlor, between the office and reception-room, 0 feet wide. Between the dining-room and kitchen there are two pantries, each 12 feet square, with 4 feet entry between. The ceilings are 11 feet high. The second floor is divided into 22 rooms, averag ing 12 by 1GJ feet sixteen of which are ar ranged in sets with communicating doors between eaeh two. They are all admirably ventilated with large transoms and windows. The hall extending through the main building is six feet wide, and that through the wing four feet. On this floor are two large bath rooms, containing all the modern conve niences, including an abundant supply of hot and cold water. The third story contains thirteen rooms similar in size to those on the second floor. The second story is ten feet in the clear, and the third nine feet. Each room will contain gas, and a register for heating when required. The "Summit Grove" furnishes a magnificent view of the Dela ware river for several miles, and vessels can be seen quite plainly. Germantown, Chestnut Hill, Conshohocken, Villa Nova College, and many other points of interest and beauty are readily discernible. Mr. Evans has wisely selected his location and constructed a house for comfort, convenience, and luxury. It is the best arranged house for the purpose in the vicinity of this great city, and cannot fail to become popular, if he supplies his table as bountifully as was his invariable custom at Brookficld last summer. In the splendid lawn surrounding the house is an ice-house 20 feet square and deep, well filled with clear, crystal ice, and an extensive livery stable is to be built before the season opens on the first of June. This section of country is well supplied with churches. Within a mile and a half of "Sum mit Grove" the Presbyterians, Friends, Epis copalians, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, and Catholics have commodious churches. We predict a large population in Bryn Mahr in a very few years. Passing through the place yesterdoy, we were surprised to find that so large a number of lots has been secured by many of our well-known citizens, who design improving them during this year. Physical CIinns:e In the (.resit American lccri. The Inland Empire has the following state ment concerning the process of change going on all over the great inland desert between California and Missouri: For some time past there has been a ques tion before the people of this basin and of the plains east of the Rocky Mountains that has as yet failed to be satisfactorily answered. It is: Why are the streaws carrying more water than in former yoars? The great plains are fast losing their arid nature, and through them are running streams in plaoes where twenty yean ago there was not a drop of water: and where at that time there were small streams, they are now very much en larged. In many eases, this change has been of groat value, as it has given to the traveller a supply of water that had previously been denied. When the first emigrants crossed the Plains to California, the great objection niged to the trip w as the scarcity of water on the great part of the route. Within a few years this has been all changed, and in the beds of old streams that were dry when first found, there is now water for all the purposes required. The Laramie Plains are not now destitute of water, whereas some years ago there was none, and the traveller had to carry water on passing over them. There can be no doubt that, for the last ten years, litre ha- been continued increase "t water throughout the whole desert country between the Missouri and the Kierra Nevada. The Arkansas was dry in 182, from the Pawnee Fork to the Cimaron crossing, and previous to that time the Pecos was dried up, so that at many places the people were obliged to dig for water. And the Moro valley and plains were at that time almost destitute of vegetation. Now the vegetation is luxurious, and it is one of the very best wheat-growing sections. Denver was built on the banks of an ex tinct creek, which it was supposed would re main dry, but, after the settlement, to the astonishment of the people, it became quite a stream, and is now crossed by bridgos. The Huerfano, the Koya Pecos, and others that were dry during the summer months, ten years ago, are now constantly running in fair streoms. We are satisfied that along the whole line of the Union Paoifio llailroad there is much more moisture in the earth than there was only a few years since. Agaia, Salt Lake is seven feet higher than it was ten years ago, and it is constantly rising, and it has been urged by those who have paid attention to the subject, that the rise of water there would produce a solution of the Mormon question before Congress would act upon it. When the Salt Lake shall rise a few feet higher we shall look for its overthrow to reach the Shell Creek range, as evidently at one time water did cover what is now only an arid valley, not direct in its course, but cut up with ranges, still the continued valley can be traced. This great increase of water will work a great revolution in the opinion of the people as to the capacity of the great plains for agricultural purposes. The only reason why the great plains can not be made into good fruit farms is the lack of water and timber, as the land in richness has no superior. The increase of water of which we have spoken will do away with one objection, and the discovery of cool over a distance east of Salt Lake for over six hun dred miles will obviate the other. The man who travels over the Union Pacific Jiailroad twenty-five years from this time will find that the sage brush has given way to crops of all kinds growing in the greatest luxuriance, and that the stnrdy farmers with happy homes have taken the places of the wandering red men. In our own State this increase of mois ture has been noticed, and the old settlers do not hesitate to say that in many places the streams have increased more than one-fourth in size during the past live years, and in some places where there was no water then there are now small but constantly running Btreams. The Legislature of Wisconsin h:is appealed to Congress to exempt that State next year from the provisions o the general law provid ing for the election of Congressmen on the second Tuesday of October, as under the Htute constitution the election of Mate officers takes place in November, and it cannot bo legally changed in f-eason. 8EWINQ MACHINES.
